On a normal week, a number of marquee Premier League match-ups, big-time results in the Champions League or high drama in MLS playoff action would be the highlights of our weekly episode — and they all certainly got plenty of attention this week, for sure. But with the ongoing legal drama in the American soccer […]

#Pondcast: Bye Bye Bruce
Given the chaos in American soccer over the last week, a return to the Premier League offered at least a partial distraction for the guys going into this week’s show. And though 40% of last weekend’s actions ended in drab draws — hello, Liverpool-United — the remaining six results packed plenty of drama: Palace’s surprising […]
#Pondcast: Nuclear Fall Out
While we had originally planned to take the week off due to the international break, the “most embarrassing moment in U.S. Soccer history” went and happened, forcing D.J. & Jeremy into emergency action. In the chaotic hours that followed the USMNT’s 2-1 defeat and subsequent elimination from the 2018 World Cup in Russia, we thought […]
#Pondcast: Pep-mate
This past weekend, the schedule making gods bestowed upon us to the Tyson-Holyfield of the current Premier League era: Chelsea vs Manchester City. Guided by two tacticians, we were treated to 90 minutes of footballing goodness — and ultimately, Jeremy Lance sorrow. After making him relive the experience to kick things off on this week’s […]
#Pondcast: Fabian Delph Lives
Covering this week’s Premier League action, D.J. & Jeremy weren’t so much shocked that Manchester City rolled to a 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace, so much as they were shocked at who scored one of those goals. Chelsea’s dominating performance on the road also gets some airtime, but not a whole lot more than Diego […]
#Pondcast: Mané’s Sergio Dipp Moment
Though we didn’t take a high boot to our own faces, we were out of commission earlier this week — so a late podcast covering all of the weekend’s Premier League action is the silver lining you should be looking for. In it, we spend time discussing how Mané was definitely deserving of the red he saw against […]
#Pondcast: It Can Get Worse
In years past, we would have considered taking a week off from the podcast due to the international break and the relative dearth of soccer to discuss. However, as grizzled fathers of multiple children subjected to a three day Holiday weekend, getting together to drink beer and talk soccer sounded like a necessity. As a […]
#Pondcast: Your Deadline Day Sky Sports Alternative
This past weekend’s round of Premier League action produced happiness in the Northwest of England and disappointment in North London, and the guys focused in on both on this week’s #Pondcast. Time was also devoted to the fast approaching European transfer window deadline, and we put on our best Sky Sports correspondent hats and tried […]
Summer #Pondcast Special Uno
After a few weeks to collect our heads — and spend time with our families, work our jobs — D.J. and Jeremy returned to the booth for the first summer special of 2017! So what was on the agenda after such a long break off? The guys take a look at the upcoming Gold Cup […]
#Pondcast: This Is It (For the Fourth Time)
We’ve reached the end. For those hoping the delayed arrival of this episode coupled with the title meant that we would finally be putting the #Pondcast out of its misery, sorry to disappoint you. This is simply it for season four. And honestly, if you’ve listened to us for more than the last year, you’ll know that’s […]
